I installed all creative suite /cloud products on my main hard drive which has just failed. I can't open the apps on that drive. How can I deauthorize them when the drive is damaged beyond repair and unresponsive?

Kay5000 you are posting in a pubic forum.
As Ankit stated please try installing and activating Creative Cloud on your replacement computer/hard drive.  If you have reached your maximum activation count then you will be prompted to deactivate all your activations.  This will then allow you to activate on the replacement computer/hard drive.
For Creative Suite 6 I would recommend that you try installing as well.  If you receive a message that you have exceeded your amount of allowable activations then please contact our support team directly.  Our support team will be able to increase your activation count and allow you to install on the replacement computer/hard drive.  You can contact our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 to make this request.

  • Upgraded from Lightroom Beta which was on a hard drive which has failed now want to install my upgrade unto new hard drive.

    When lightroom first arrived on the scene, it was in the beta stage and had unlimited free access.  I liked it and when Lightroom 2 came out I upgraded from Adobe.   That was on my old computer whose hard drive has failed.  So now wish to install my Lightroom 2 on my new computer.    It asks for the Original serial # which I do not have access to.   Since my original version was a beta how can I get a serial # for a version 1.0 ?

  • Can I install and use your Adobe products on a secondary hard drive?

    Hello, I have my OS and program files installed on a 128gb SSD and I have a 1TB HDD secondary. I want to avoid filling up that SSD as much as possible. Is there an option when installing your Adobe products  (which ones?) to install and use them in a drive and folder on the secondary drive?

    Simply choose a custom install and pick an alternate location in a folder on your secondary drive. just be aware that some components like the activation system and otehr shared stuff will always be installed on C:\, no matter what. You are stil lgoing to lose at least 1GB on your SSD drive.

  • Problem Installing Creative Suite 6 Production Premium

    I am trying to install the student and teacher edition of Adobe creative Suite 6 production premium. I received the serial number authorization and I can get through all the initial questions however when the install starts it stops at 2% while it's trying to install the dynamic link support. It takes about 30 minutes and then I get this error message: Installation Failed. Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure.  I have run the cleaner tool and have removed all previous creative suite installations. I am running Windows 7 service pack 1. I have tried this three times..
    I tried to go through live chat but once I finally got to the first representative they couldn't answer the question and I've waited an hour to be connected to a technical support person and no one has come back to address this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How do I install and activate my Creative Suite 6 Production Premium on a second device?

    I successfully installed my Creative Suite 6 Production Premium product on my Mac, but now I need a copy on my home pc.  I cant find instructions anywhere as to how to do this. A clear step by step guide would be useful.

    As long as your home PC is also a Mac you just need to install and activate the same way you did originally.  If you need to download the installation files you can find links thru the following page:

  • How do I move my iTunes Library from one PC to another when all my actual songs live on an external hard-drive?

    Need to transfer my iTunes from one Win7 laptop to a new one.  The trick is that all my music files live on an external hard drive, which I also use for Home Media Server use (iTunes only has a portion of my full collection under management for use on my iPhone).
    I don't want to consolidate the music files to the My Music folder (which almost all tutorials say is the first step to transfer the library) - I want to keep them on the external drive.  I want to retain my playlists mainly, as well as things like Podcasts which are unique to the iPhone.
      How does one accomplish this? 
      Thanks in advance!!

    OK. So your current media library is at C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes.
    Your current media folder is C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Your library is in the old style layout.
    The bulk of your media is at F:\MP3 and you're happy with the layout of it.
    Are you OK with the media files moving to F:\iTunes\iTunes Media but otherwise retaining the same file & folder names they have now. If so carry on, otherwise I'll give you the steps for migrating the library without making it portable first, or indeed at all.
    With iTunes closed backup the iTunes Library.itl file somewhere.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Check the media folder location is given as C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Make sure Keep iTunes Music folder organised and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library are turned off.
    Close preferences.
    Use File > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Music. This will pull the files in the Mobile Applications folder into your current media folder and tell iTunes you want to use the new layout in future for anything that it is managing, e.g. podcasts, apps etc. Exisitng content on F: won't be touched.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Change the media folder location to F:\MP3. When you click OK you will be asked if you want to copy existing content to the new location. Click No.
    Close iTunes. Reopen it. Check that media folder location is now correctly given as F:\MP3.
    Use File > Organise Library > Consolidate files. This will pull any files that are outside F:\MP3 into it, but leave those that are already inside alone.
    Close iTunes.
    Copy the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into F:\.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\.
    Test that the library works i.e. that your files play.
    Close iTunes.
    Create a folder called F:\iTunes.
    Move the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library.xml iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folders Album Artwork & MP3 into F:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\iTunes.
    Test that the library works.
    Close iTunes.
    Rename F:\iTunes\MP3 as F:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    Open iTunes, test the library.
    If at any stage the library won't play your media undo the preceeding step where this has involved moving or renaming files or use the shift-start-iTunes method to open the previous copy of the library.
    If you've made it this far you can now connect this drive to your new computer and connect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method without needing to worry which drive letter has been assigned. If your new machine has a big enough drive you can copy the entire iTunes folder to, say, C:\iTunes and it will just work, meaning that your external drive can function as a backup... You really should keep at least two copies of eveything.
    Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder (which is the point of doing all the above) then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Runtime Error when installing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium

    I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium, but I keep getting a 'Runtime Error!':  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    What should I do?  Any help greatly appreciated!  I am running Win 7, Service Pack 1, 64 bit.

    We cannot know. Your information is hugely insufficient. Check Your Windows Event Viewer and tell us the "fault module" plus provide detailed specs for your computer. Runtime errors usualyl mean that A DLL is missing, a security tool is blocking critical functions or that the processor is not compatible in teh first place. Just as well this could be a driver issue with your SATA bus or whatever.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud oder Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition

    Hallo.
    Ich bin im Moment ein Student. Mein Studium geht noch 10 Monate lang.
    Jetzt weis ich nicht so recht was sich für mich daheim mehr lohnt.
    Die
    Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition für 575€
    oder die Adobe Creative Cloud.
    Ich könnte wärend meines Studiums das Angebot für 20€ im Monat nutzen, allerdings kann ich ja nach meinem Studium nicht einfach auf dem Studenten abo bleiben? Wie ist das geregelt? Denn sonst hänge ich ja wieder auf den 60€ im Monat......als privat Kunde....für meine eigenen Projekte.
    Im Grunde wär die Creative Suite 6 bei dem Preis auf dauer bestimmt besser geeignet, aber ich habe Angst das die CS6 Versionen zu veraltet sind/zu schnell veralten.

    Nun ja, "veraltet" ist keine Aussage. Das hängt ja wohl in erster Linie davon ab, was du für ein System verwendest und wie lange du es behalten willst. CS6 läuft prima auf Windows und wird es noch ein paar Jährchen, nur auf Mac wird's langsam finster, weil sich Apple nicht drum schert...

    Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a  64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK  for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?
